years!

To carry out these missions, we use a fleet of civilian hospital ships: the
Africa Mercy and the Global Mercy.

 * To give back a smile and a taste for life to the people treated

 * To help them find self-confidence after months or even years of suffering

 * To help them take their place in the community and be respected by those
   around them

 * To give children the opportunity to return to school or go to school for the
   first time
 * To have as normal a life as possible, quite simply

At the same time, we develop care systems for local health professionals
and invest in the medical infrastructure where we work.

Twinning! The #GlobalMercy is blessed with two sets of identical twins serving
in Sierra Leone, with each medical sister complemented by her non-medical sister
serving in another #volunteer position among the ship’s crew. 👯‍♀️ ⁣

“Even though we chose different career paths, serving on board gives us the
unique opportunity to still work so close together, and not miss each other,”
said Dorcas Nutsugah, a Ghanian working in human resources who serves alongside
her biomedical engineer sister Deborah.⁣

Eight-year-old Seydina boarded the #GlobalMercy in #Senegal with two conditions
to be treated. Cataracts in his eyes meant that he could barely see, and a cleft
palate in the roof of his mouth made it hard to eat or speak clearly.⁣
⁣
We praise God that Seydina’s double surgery was successful! “I`ve noticed lots
of changes after his surgery,” celebrated his mother, Bintou. “His way of
talking has improved … He eats everything you give him.” ⁣
⁣
Restored vision has enabled Seydina to play normally with his friends, a sight
that fills Bintou with joy. “He is so happy,” she said. “I’m so happy.” 🎉💕⁣

Seydina, 8 ans, est monté à bord du #GlobalMercy au #Sénégal avec deux problèmes
à traiter. La cataracte de ses yeux l`empêchait de voir, et une fente palatine
au niveau du palais l`empêchait de manger ou de parler clairement.⁣
⁣
Nous sommes fiers de la réussite de la double opération de Seydina ! « J`ai
remarqué beaucoup de changements après l`opération », se réjouit sa mère,
Bintou. « Sa façon de parler s`est améliorée... Il mange tout ce qu`on lui
donne. » ⁣

Sa vision restaurée a permis à Seydina de jouer normalement avec ses amis, ce
qui remplit Bintou de joie. « Il est tellement heureux », dit-elle. « Je suis
tellement heureuse. » 🎉💕⁣

“I’ve committed 18 years of my life towards learning that, and I can distill
those 18 years into a couple of weeks for her, so she doesn’t have to take 18
years to learn all the mistakes that I made to get to where I am,” shared Dr.

Meet the surgeon who’s already changing lives in Senegal! 🙌⁣
⁣
When Mercy Ships had to leave Dakar in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
crew reached out to Dr. Alida Ngandijo Sidi, a budding Cameroonian surgeon who
had made Senegal her home.⁣
⁣
She operated on over 40 of Mercy Ships` patients during the pandemic, honoring
the organization’s commitment to provide them with safe and affordable
life-transforming surgeries. The partnership continued into 2023, where Dr. Sidi
received three weeks of mentorship on the #GlobalMercy. By learning alongside
veteran surgeons, she expanded her skillset, and patients will benefit for years
to come. 🩺🌍⁣
